The Corpse of Christ is a painting by the Italian Baroque master Annibale Carracci dating to c. 1583-1585 and housed in the Staatsgalerie of Stuttgart Germany.The work dating to Carracci’s early career is a manifest homage to Andrea Mantegna’s Dead Christ which he had perhaps seen in the Aldobrandini collection. Christ is portrayed lying in a contorted position seen from his feet.
